Football: Three sure-fire weaknesses in every match!

The voice just fell.

The situation on the field changed instantly.

Bruno Fernandes finally found a bit of breathing space in the backfield.

I adjusted my footing slightly.

I glanced up and looked around.

A through ball!

The ball passed through the gap in the midfield.

We've found Muriel who's retreating to provide support!

"nice shot!!"

He Wei raised his voice.

Muriel receives the ball with his back to goal.

There's a lot of pressure behind him.

Normal choice.

It should be done again.

Or split it into two sides.

But he didn't.

He chose to do it himself!

"Huh? He's turning around!"

Xu Yang's tone tightened.

Muriel forcefully shields the ball.

He tried to cut through the defense with one kick.

next second...

A black and white figure slashed in from the side and rear at high speed!

Shovel it up!!

Snapped! !

Clean and efficient!

The ball was intercepted!

The one who kicked was Khedira.

"oops!!"

He Wei slammed his hand on the table.

His tone was full of regret:

"That's such a pity!!"

Xu Yang also shook his head:

"That ball was handled a bit too hastily!"

"Facing Juventus' defense from this position!"

"Going solo is extremely difficult!"

He Wei's tone regained its composure, but a hint of nervousness remained:

"Playing against a team of this caliber!"

"You have to be patient."

"The chances are definitely slim."

"But once it appears!"

"We absolutely must seize this opportunity!!!"

……

at the same time.

China's live broadcast room.

The comments section was flooded with messages.

To be honest, it wasn't entirely without a chance! Lin Qi was constantly stretching the defense, and Juventus' center-backs were starting to get a bit disorganized!

Yes, Bonucci was really struggling; he almost got faked out of space! The problem is that the midfield can't get the ball out! Bruno Fernandes gets surrounded by three players as soon as he gets the ball, he can't even lift his head!

Is Bonucci really playing like an Italian national team player? No, his judgments just now were clearly a beat slow! He seemed a bit confused by Lin Qi's off-the-ball movement! Honestly, playing in this form for the national team... Italy's chances of even qualifying for this World Cup are slim, right?

[Hilarious! The Chinese striker completely broke their mentality. If they get caught offside once, they're doomed!]

Sampdoria should use more long diagonal passes! Disrupt their rhythm and avoid trying to compete with Juventus on the ground! Or they can directly find the space behind Lin Qi, as Bonucci is slow to turn! The key is to get Bruno Fernandes to pass the ball out early, without hesitation!

[Muriel, stop trying to do everything yourself, setting up the ball is the key! Right now, all we're missing is a crucial pass! If you get one perfect pass, Juventus will be in trouble!]

……

Inside the VIP box.

Red wine and delicate snacks were laid out on the table.

But the atmosphere was anything but relaxed.

Sampdoria owner Ferrero leaned forward slightly, his hands braced against the railing, watching the situation on the field with an increasingly grim expression.

"What is that thing being kicked?"

He couldn't help but speak up.

His tone clearly carried dissatisfaction.

Several club executives nearby exchanged glances, but did not respond immediately.

Ferrero pointed to the forward positions on the field:

"Look..."

"Lin Qi stood alone in front."

"Can't get the ball."

"We still have to keep moving around."

"Being pulled, pushed, and entangled by others!"

"Isn't this just a complete waste of energy?!"

He became more and more agitated as he spoke.

He gestured famously with his hand in the air:

"Does this usage... make any sense?"

"We wanted him to score!"

"We didn't want him to be used as bait!"

A senior executive nearby tentatively said:

"Perhaps it's a tactical necessity..."

Ferrero immediately waved his hand to interrupt:

"Tactics my ass!"

He gave a cold laugh.

The gaze shifted in another direction:

"And that Muriel!"

"He wants to do everything himself once he gets the ball."

"What should be passed on should not be passed on."

"All the opportunities were wasted."

"This kind of player..."

"Sell them at the end of the season!"

"Both delicious and unique!"

Ferrero seemed to have more to say.

He then pointed to Lin Qi on the field:

"It's like we can't afford to pay his goal bonus."

"Every goal scored!"

"We also need to invest an additional 50,000 euros in the Chinese youth training fund."

"I've already agreed!"

"And now?"

"The ball never even reaches his feet!"

Speaking of it.

He took a deep breath.

My emotions have calmed down a bit.

There was a few seconds of silence.

Ferrero suddenly waved his hand.

The tone of voice was much more subdued:

"never mind……"

"I'm not a coach either."

"It's best not to interfere with tactics."

"To avoid accusations of the owner interfering with the team later."

He sat back down on the sofa.

He raised his glass.

It shook gently.

But in his eyes.

Clearly, I'm still not satisfied.

……

at the same time.

Coaching area on the sidelines.

Giampaolo suddenly sneezed.

He rubbed his nose.

He frowned.

I don't know why.

He suddenly felt like someone was talking about him.

next second.

The club's management's previous warning to him came to mind.

"We need to let Lin Qi score more goals."

"The data needs to look good."

"The commercial value needs to be realized."

Giampaolo's lips twitched.

He muttered under his breath:

"These guys don't understand football..."

"He just likes to boss people around."

"What if they really cause problems for the team..."

"Let's see how you handle this."

His gaze returned to the game.

"The other side has figured it out."

"Lin Qi at this point..."

"They're being targeted very hard."

"If we continue to rely on him..."

"This is the result we see now."

At this time.

A teaching assistant quickly walked up to him.

Lower your voice to remind:

"The problem isn't just with the forwards."

Giampaolo tilted his head.

The assistant coach pointed to the midfield and backfield areas on the field:

"Look at their pressing in the attacking third."

"Juventus now..."

"They started their encirclement and annihilation in our half."

"Any receiving point—"

"They usually hire two or three people to do it."

"We simply don't have any space to pass the ball out."

"The ball can't get to the frontcourt."

"So, Lin Qi at this point..."

"It's as if it's been rendered useless."

Giampaolo remained silent.

Of course he could tell.

What's the problem?

But the problem is...

How to solve this?

……

On the field.

Juventus' pressure continues to come wave after wave.

And Sampdoria.

They were firmly pinned down in their own half.

Giampaolo finally stopped hesitating.

He took a sudden step forward, made a clear downward pressing gesture with both hands, and shouted loudly towards the front of the field:

"Lin Qi! Come back a little!!"

"Get back to midfield and receive the ball!! Get involved in the playmaking!!"

This command.

It was clearly transmitted to Lin Qi's ears.

He was slightly startled.

His eyes lit up immediately.

"A pullback?"

next second.

Instead, a slight smile curved at the corners of his mouth.

"Perfect."

His physical attributes have been significantly improved through Ibrahimovic's gold card.

The high-intensity back-and-forth sprints from before still need to be controlled to some extent.

but now……

It's time to try the limits.

As Lin Qi slowly retreated, he mentally calculated:

"The first half is almost halfway through..."

"Hang in there!"

"Perhaps during the pullback, the system can find an opportunity and even provide a vulnerability alert."

He is very clear.

This is the current situation.

Simply waiting for the ball is not enough.

Since the ball can't get to the frontcourt.

Then go find the ball yourself.

So far.

Lin Qi possesses a total of four key player templates.

The first one.

Casano template.

Core competencies: Extreme handling in tight spaces + flashes of inspiration in passing creativity.

That ability to break through defenses in a confined space using only your sense of touch and imagination.

It is a powerful tool for breaking through dense defenses.

the second one.

Inzaghi template.

Core competencies: Offside awareness + goal-scoring instinct.

A keen awareness of the offside line.

And the ability to turn what are not chances into goals.

The third one.

Adriano template.

Core ability: Relying on a strong physique to overpower the defense.

However, in this match, it was clear that the system felt the opposing defender was stronger than Lin Qi, so it did not provide any vulnerability warnings.

The fourth one.

Ibrahimovic template (currently the only gold card).

Core features:

Shooting method, selection, landing point...

It is completely unpredictable.

As long as they enter the shooting range.

Even if the angle is strange or the posture is awkward...

It's possible that it could end directly.

Four abilities.

Four styles.

It's time to start the integration!
